Management

The relationship between law and ethics has been subject to much discussion over time. Is there a common standard? Is one “stricter” than the other? In a well-written, cohesive essay, explore the relationship of law and ethics. As you do so, identify and discuss specific examples to illustrate each of the following: Law and ethics overlap in purpose and/or form (i.e., the law tends to enforce ethical standards or is parallel to societal ethics) Law is ethically neutral (i.e., law has no ethical purpose or content) Because law is developed through compromise, the law may actually be unethical (i.e. the purpose or effect of the law may be unethical) Develop a response that includes examples and evidence to support your ideas, and which clearly communicates the required message to your audience. Organize your response in a clear and logical manner as appropriate for the genre of writing. Use well-structured sentences, audience-appropriate language, and correct conventions of standard American English.   Second Writing Assignment:  Please follow APA format for cover page and APA citation style (6th ed.) if referencing information from outside sources.

Explain the four functions of management Scenario: Well-known big-box discounter Target® Corporation has recently begun a campaign to shift away from its reputation as a discount chain and more to mid-range retailer offering affordable items in partnerships with luxury designers, expanded offerings for apparel and the home, and more organic and craft-oriented grocery offerings. This change in strategy has resulted in a new corporate direction for the organization, which is summarized in its mission statement: “To help all families discover the joy of everyday life.
